A certified Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, Lorri stays in touch with this side of the real estate market including discussions with local banks and attorneys as well as attending the courthouse auctions. Purchasing or selling a short sale or bank owned property has become more commonplace around the United States with the recent changes in our economy. Good deals are out there but disappear quickly. Being aware of the market and any opportunities is critical. Fortunately, South Carolina remains in the middle of the pack in nationwide foreclosures. Because Hilton Head Island and Bluffton were never as investor intensive as areas such as Arizona, Nevada, Florida and California, we did not experience the extreme rise and fall in prices and resulting glut of excess inventory that these other areas have seen. As a result, short sales and foreclosures currently make up a smaller percentage of our market than the national average. If you would like to be added to a "watch" list to purchase short sales and foreclosures in your favorite areas, please email me or call me at (843)422-6448.
